Carwin, Mir To Meet At UFC 111?

Perhaps the patience of UFC president Dana White is being tested in terms of the medical status of Brock Lesnar as there are rumblings of the possibility of Shane Carwin and Frank Mir meeting in the Octagon at UFC 111, which is scheduled to take place on March 11, 2010 in Newark, NJ., presumably from the Prudential Center.

Assuming that this bout takes place, it is expected that the winner would face Brock Lesnar, assuming Lesnar recovers fully from his health issues. One can safely assume that this will be for the UFC heavyweight title, albeit an interim one in nature. With this bout being a possibility until proven otherwise, UFC 111 looks like this:

 

  • Georges St. Pierre vs. Dan Hardy (for welterweight title)*
  • Shane Carwin vs. Frank Mir (for interim heavyweight title)*
  • Thiago Alves vs. TBA*
  • Ricardo Almeida vs. TBA*
  •

      whats the point of giving mir another title shot.
      1. he doesnt deserve it after just one win.
      2. he already got dominated by lesnar once and unless he catches lesnar slippin(which he wont) then he’s just going to get pummled again.

    3. The only thing I can tell you Party is to submit a complaint to Joe Silva, UFC matchmaker. Personally, I’d like to see Velasquez get a shot at the interim title. Velasquez vs. Carwin would be pretty sweet.

      I would like to see dana white v joe rogan i think dana gets the win from his amazing slogans “when I get up in the morning i know bad sh#ts going to happen” awesome dana white and his educated talk.

      Agree carwin v valasquez

      and i think junior des santos will wipe out the light heavyweights he is one strong dude just needs wresteling but all in all this kid is the terminator but without the gun because guns are against the rules.

      All these ppl with great slogans just get eaten up hense My favourite fighter Kenny Florian “its time to kill the master” why kenflo just shut up and get on with it like you have been doing.
